Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

Gerald is selling his GPW.
“1942 Ford GPW Military Jeep s/n 66717 Delivery date 9-21-42. Great candidate for a restoration project. Original frame, bodyand drivetrain are all there but will need attention.
Original grab handles, spare tire carrier, steering wheel, seat frames, headlight buckets and many of the small parts have been removed and are solid. They are F script.
In fact, Body, frame and engine block s/n all match dash plate. That is very rare! This will be it’s first rebuild. It was in the United Kingdom in 58 and was titled in Pennsylvania in 59. So it came back home and must of seen WWII action.
This is a survivor who needs to be saved. Breaking up the parts would be a shame. It’s had many coats of paint, exposure and a partial disassembly. And yes rust, but there is plenty to work with.
I’ve never had this Jeep running so operating condition is unknown but I’m sure its had quite a life. Don’t think this is a cream puff. She has seen some action and will need lot’s of attention.
This was one of the earlies Jeeps made from the Willys design and is almost 70 years old. Let’s keep this Veteran Rolling.
Local pick-up and cash talks. Thanks”
This appears to be a good price.

“Hi and thank you for looking at my auction. I am helping my father list his Willys jeep as he isn’t computer savy, not that I am either:)
He has a 1955 CJ5 Willys jeep. It has a Best Top soft top and doors. Overhead valve engine. Came from a farm in Illinois before my father bought it. Drives out well. Has been sitting in the shed on the farm here for a few years. Starts and runs well. Carburetor might need a rebuild again. I rebuilt it a fews years back but this wonderful ethanol fuel ruins the rubber diphram in this carb. Paint is fair, not flashy but not going to slide off in a fast turn either. Body is nice and not a rust bucket. I can take pics of the floors and inside and under the body. Was always a red Willys. First year of this “new” body style.
Any questions please ask. Always welcome to come and look and drive it. We will help with shipping and can haul or drive it towards you if that helps. Is and has always been inside since my father purchased it and can stay here if needed as long is it is paid for or prior agreement made to do so. Willing to help just ask before the end of the sale! Title is free and clear, no liens or loans on it.
This is a nice old running and driving jeep. It is almost 60 years old and lived it’s life on a farm. It has a super solid body and runs out great and handles like a nice old truck. It does have dings and dents that have been fixed, the paint is as old as I am (35 years), there are chips in the paint and some scatches. It is a super fun go and get a malt type of dependable old vehicle.
This is a $6500.00 jeep not a restored $12,000.00 one so if that is what you want this is not the truck for you. Please come and look at it before you bid or ask questions about with more than a day left, please. It can be driven and I encourage people interested to do just that.”

“1947 Willys Jeep, restored, new engine, red with new black top, new interior.(304)645-5064”
http://blacksburg.craigslist.org/cto/2780383591.html
It looks solid and nearly original.
“Very solid ole’ Willys Jeep made in 1947, was redone a little over 5 years ago, garage kept, rust free. The Engine and transmission all work great, although the transmission does leak a little, it needs a new seal, the clutch is working very well. Brakes are spongy and could use a little work, prolly adding brake fluid would do the trick. Runs down the road smooth and is road legal, I have a clear title for this jeep as well. The jeep has 16″ NDT military tires, and the roll bar is bolted on, so if you do not want that you can get rid of it by unbolting it. I have the original rods and a bikini top for it, or I have a aftermarket snap on cover that can be used as well, all included with the jeep. If you have any questions just email me plus I have more pics of the jeep if you need them.”

Totally correct engine compartment with all the correct 24V electrics. Transmission and transfer case shift and operate smoothly, no excessive noise or leaks.

Totally correct interior and exterior. Original top bows, all the brackets. No top canvas included. All original early wheels. Tires are 40% or so. Original fuel tank too!
It was 36 degrees F when I took the pictures, so the exhaust you see is not smoke!

This jeep could be used as is. Runs, drives and stops. All you need to do is put a new wiring harness in and repaint it.”

This looks good.
“I have always wanted one of these Jeepsters. Now I own one. I went to look at a ’57 Ford Thunderbird and I missed the turn and I saw the Jeepster setting next to the road with a for-sale sign and told my wife we need to go look at it. We found the T-Bird but I could not buy it even for the price just to ruff. We were going to go look at a another car and I did not get an answer then remembered the jeepster which was very close by. When I was looking at it the owner drove up and the rest is history. Had a great drive back. we put the top down and drove home 44 miles most of it on I-5. Ran great. When I opened the hood I was not to sure what to expect, it is all stock with that little 4 cylinder F head Hurricane Jeep engine. This engine produced 75 hp (56 kW; 76 PS) at 4000 rpm (although it redlines at 3200 rpm). 3 speed transmission on the tree with Overdrive. Still 6 volt. Top is very good. He did not have the side curtains. The Jeepster was an automobile originally produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1948 to 1950. Willys developed the Jeepster to crossover from their “utilitarian” type truck vehicles, to the passenger automobile market. They built 5,836 Jeepsters in 1950. Joe at Old School Garage has taken care of a few small things like getting the gas gauge to work. The Over drive will not engage. Joe got the heater to work. It’s all serviced and safety check and ready to go. Cond. # 3+.”
